In Atomic Habits, James Clear makes a powerful observation:
"The greatest threat to success is not failure, but boredom. We get bored with habits because they stop delighting us; the outcome becomes expected. And as our habits become ordinary, we start derailing our progress to seek novelty. Often, this is the point when people stop improving."
It’s a trap especially in trading. The strategies that quietly compound wealth often feel dull.
They don’t deliver fireworks every day, but they work. The problem is most traders abandon consistency for excitement… and pay for it in losses.
Filmmaker Christopher Nolan known for his masterful, billion-dollar blockbusters avoids the noise of modern tech. He writes all his scripts on an old, internet-free laptop. With the simple aim of eliminating distraction and staying locked in on his craft.
He doesn’t chase convenience; he commits to process.
Take it from me, I used to chase every shiny strategy and overcomplicate everything. My trading only started to improve when I finally surrendered to the basics: clean setups, strict risk, no hero moves.
And funny enough, the same thing happened with this channel.
My writing got sharper; not from some creative epiphany, but from doing the boring stuff—reading more, listening more, being less of a know-it-all.
